So it's one of my favourite songs. But I've always wondered about something...do I have the lyrics right? I went to check today, and I'm finding that no two sites agree. Even CM has out of date lyrics which are clearly not right.
Here's what I have (in my head), please let me know if I'm mistaken:
She builds her own satellite
From an old rusted chair
She leaves this whole world behind
And the things that she cares
Maybe she's gone but it won't be for long
What do I know?
Maybe she's found what we all dream about
What do I know? (oh)
She's beautiful and wild
And I can't compare
Wild
It's just not there (oh)
She builds a strong alibi
From the future that's here
She needs to know I'm alive
But I'm flesh and I tear
Maybe she's wrong but I wouldn't mind my own
What do I know?
Their silicon with a touch of her soul
What do I know?
She's beautiful and wild
And I can't compare
Wild
It's just not fair
And wild
And I can't compare
And wild
And it's just not fair
And wild (oh now)
And wild (oh)
And wild.
And it's just not fair.

The parts I see commonly changed are:
"she's beautiful and wild"
to
" she's beautiful and wonderful"
To me it clearly sounds like "wild" the whole song.
Also, it sounds like silicone, but with the whole message of the CD I think he's probably just pronouncing silicon with a heavier o.
And finally, is it "and I wouldn't mind my own" or "and I won't mind my own"?
In any case I love the song, and I can't believe we will all have a chance to hear it again!
